| The Sota Cosmos Vacuum Turntable Thanks for posting your impressions and the unfortunate backstory. Your Cosmos is absolutely beautiful. I love the quality of woodwork and the stain, are those dovetail joints? I appreciate isolated suspended tables as well and your Sota is my d... | |
| Which Preamp with JC5? Rogue Audio RP-9 or Parasound JC2 IME, Rogue preamps are voiced to be neutral, accurate, with great dynamics. Depending on tube selection you will achieve wide and deep soundstaging. Sonic characteristics are too similar to your amp. | |
| Dedicated Circuits - Subpanel importance? That's right, @jea48 , it was a large toroidal transformer humming. You answered my query and we discussed what might be causing it before I called the electrician. I'm always appreciative of the help you and others provide. Your explanation reg... | |

| DIY Active Ground Box Very informative, thanks. | |
| Bob Carver Going Direct. @oddiofyl , I get your point. But there must be someone in charge of production who decided to mount PCBs with glue instead of bolting them to the chassis. OTOH, wiring the fuse to the wrong circuit sounds like shoddy workmanship to me. I realise... | |
| DIY Active Ground Box I filled the box with a mixture of tree charcoal, Hawaiian charcoal salt, rock salt, copper filings, and some local dirt. @guakus , how did you decide on what to fill the box with? And what grounding properties do these materials have? In anot... |
